It's a good job you are already Australian because you'd never pass the literacy exam to get in otherwise

caught a bit of NZ V India Ryder was batting like a dream again - just finding the gaps with ease

he's obscenely talented. And despite his size he seems fit enough to bat for a long time.

they made that point last night, i am sure the fact he just strokes it about helps, looks effortless, no heaving it around.

Saw a bit on the first night, when NZ were 22-3. Not seen much since then, but noticed the close of day 2 score this morning. Suffice to say, it was a little bit of a surprise.
